T-shirtEver wished you could design and print your own custom shirts and other wearable stuff? Well, thanks to this little invention called the “Internet” now you can!

There are several sites which allow you to upload your own artwork and they will create your clothing in any quantity on demand. Among them:

  • Good Storm - their prices seem to be reasonable and I like their little tutorial on how to create your own shirts. I have never used this service but look forward to trying it out in the near future.
  • Custom Ink - this vendor has a larger range of products to choose from than Good Storm and they have a very interesting Design Lab to use while creating your gear. Again, I haven’t yet tried them out, but will in the not too distant future.
  • Cafe Press - This is kind of the grand daddy of the online design your own T-shirt game. I’ve used them several times with very inconsistent results. They have a fairly wide selection of goods, but their prices are quite high and their turn around time can be very, very slow. It has taken them 3-4 weeks to ship a couple of shirts in the past, and at least 25% of the shirts that I’ve received have been defective - crooked or non-centered printing. The only good news is that if you call them and complain they will probably send you a corrected version… it’ll just be weeks later.

If you know of any others or have experience with any of these, please do share with the rest of us!
